Part III: Boundary Reactions and Personal Responsibility

Our energetic boundaries interact in ways that are unseen and instinctual. It may be easy to admit that we use boundaries to protect ourselves but accepting that we also use them to get what we want, to avoid confrontation, to manipulate, or to create a projected reality is not so easy to admit. Understanding that our own boundaries are teachers to support the process of becoming more self responsible and aware in relationships is a different way of looking at personal growth. Identifying what a boundary is being used for and whether or not there is a willingness to self reflect and honestly assess its place creates a potential for being able to emotionally express in relationship as well as getting comfortable with needs and desires.
